"Perhaps one of the greatest rewards of meditation and prayer is the sense of belonging that comes to us. We no longer live in a completely hostile world."

Definition:

Look up the word, "rewards." Keep a running list of the rewards of prayer and meditation for you.

1. How many of you, like myself, as a younger person never felt they belonged?

2. When did you find that you did feel like you belonged, in your own skin? When comfortable in your own skin, were you then comfortable everywhere you went?

Definition:Look up the word, "belonging."

3. Write on this sentence: "Perhaps one of the greatest rewards of meditation and prayer is the sense of belonging that comes to us."

4. After belonging, the second reward is you will no longer think the world is completely hostile to you. Do you think because you live a spiritual life that people aren't going to be hostile toward you?
